The football future of Hamilton Tiger-Cat Chris Williams should soon become clearer as the all-star receivers claim for immediate free agency goes to arbitration on Thursday. Williams, who had 1,298 receiving yards and scored 17 touchdowns last season, remains under contract to the Tiger-Cats for what would be his third CFL season in 2013. However, Williams agent, Dan Vertlieb, is attempting to free his client from the final year of that deal, presumably to pursue opportunities in the National Football League. While both Vertlieb and the Tiger-Cats have declined comment on the matter, it is believed the case may hinge on whether the Tiger-Cats can prove they offered Williams the option of committing for just two seasons instead of three. Williams contract was arranged by his previous agent, who was not certified by the CFL Players Association, another possible point of contention in the case. The Tiger-Cats have offered to tear up Williams current contract if he agrees to sign a new one that would make him one of the CFLs highest-paid non-quarterbacks. But that invitation has been turned down. Williams dispute with his team went public a few months ago when he Tweeted to a former college teammate that he did not plan to return to Hamilton. The Tiger-Cats subsequently put out a statement saying they expected to see him at the start of training camp. The CFL used to allow players entering the option years of their contracts to try out with NFL teams during the off-season. However, the league eliminated that provision as part of its latest CBA, which means players such as Williams must fulfill the full extent of their contracts before shopping their services to NFL teams. It is unclear how long it will take for there to be a ruling on the matter. Dalvin Tomlinson Giants Jersey .

Odell Beckham Jr Giants Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. There are many ways of measuring success - Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou does so by looking to the future, even as he reflects on the past.Tuesday nights World Cup qualifier against Thailand falls three years, nearly to the day, since the former Brisbane and Melbourne Victory A-League coach took charge of Australia for the first time.For those who watched the Socceroos 1-0 win over Costa Rica in Sydney on November 19, 2013, Postecoglous vision was unambiguous from the outset.His unapologetic demand for possession-based, attacking football was the key to Australias competitive 2014 World Cup display and delivered the historic 2015 Asian Cup when the nations playing stocks were purportedly near an all-time low.Without the so-called golden generation the Socceroos progressed to the final phase of Russia 2018 qualifying via seven wins in eight matches.Now, on the brink of making a fourth consecutive World Cup, Postecoglou is satisfied and also driven to continue his evolution.It was hard for me to envisage anything at the time of taking over, knowing the immediacy of the World Cup and Asian Cup within the first 12 months of my tenure, he said.You try and project and hope to be in a certain space by the time we have the opportunity to qualify for the next World Cup.That meant weeding out the ageing old guard, and Postecoglou showed he wasnt afraid to do what his predecessor Holger Osieck didnt by controversially calling time on the international careers of many of thoose aged 30 and over from Germany 2006.ddddddddddddIn their place came less-experienced youth carrying long-term promise - all part of a grand plan to add much-needed depth.Were now in that bracket I wanted the bulk of the squad to be in terms of age and relevant caps at international level, Postecoglou said.Because you know if you qualify for a World Cup those kinds of things certainly help to have more of an impact.And in terms of the way were playing ... I think were just about there.The best is certainly yet to come, because a lot of these guys will be key players in the next World Cup cycle as well.Many of those faces are the fruits of a global talent sweep early in Postecoglous incumbency.No future star was missed, including those with dual nationality who could choose which country to play for.In the squad to face Thailand are five who played youth international football for other countries in Brad Smith (England), Apo Giannou (Greece), Milos Degenek (Serbia), Jamie Maclaren (Scotland) and Jackson Irvine (Scotland), while Jimmy Jeggo is also still eligible to play for Austria.Its not about convincing them, Postecoglou said.I think all of them wanted to but sometimes, particularly for guys who leave Australia at a young age and go halfway around the world, if we dont show them a little bit of care and attention they could get lost.
